The bill appropriates a total of $5,000,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Humanities Center, with $2,500,000 allocated for fiscal year 2026 and another $2,500,000 for fiscal year 2027. This funding is designated to support statewide humanities programs and to enhance outreach, partnerships, and programming that reflects the diverse culture of Minnesota.

The appropriated funds will specifically focus on initiatives related to the culture of Minnesota, the experiences of veterans and the military, professional development for educators, and programming that represents and reflects the contributions of Black, Indigenous, and people of color. This investment aims to strengthen the humanities landscape across the state and ensure inclusive representation in cultural programming.
